Hello to all again. I work for an electronics firm that does a lot of work repairing and calibrating business projectors and we also have salesman who are part of a network subsidiary in japan. They see many new products well before the retail sales divisions in north america even hear about. Since most presentation projectors are LCD, the epson corp. with the D5 panel releases, are first introduced into the corporate market well before the general public has access to these items. Cedia is just a link in the chain from products that are already in market overseas. The buzz over there is the wide margin in performance from previous products and it is a WIDE margin from our sales team reports.
LCD is far from dead and it will be quite surprising to a lot of DLP diehards just how good future LCD products will be.
I personally am waiting for 3 chip DLP to become more affordable even though I lean towards LCD because of my suseptibility to DLP artifacts.
Contrast ratios with 'NO' iris tricks at over and above 6500-1 with future LCD projectors with INORGANIC production designs in the panels WILL make LCD a contender.
I would appreciate if forum members did not ask me any more details as corporate confidentiality rules didctate that employees do not discuse any products and specifications before they are 'officialy' released. I am known among my peers on this forum and some do participate on it as well. I am not into getting terminated for a breach of contract. Sorry guys.
